PDE Problem Setup

A typical workflow in Partial Differential Equation Toolbox™ consists
of

Defining your geometry, the scalar or system of governing
equations, the boundary and initial conditions

Generating a mesh

Solving and visualizing your results

You can create an analysis model incrementally, using the toolbox
functions for each step in the workflow. You can create the model
at the command line or you can represent it in MATLAB® code, allowing
the parameters of the model to be altered manually or automatically
by a script. To represent your equation or system as a PDE model,
follow the steps described in Solve Problems Using PDEModel Objects. This approach
supports both 2-D and 3-D analysis problems and provides complementary
functions for solving and results visualization.

For 2-D geometry problems, you also can use the PDE Modeler app. The app includes geometry
creation and preset modes for applications. You can choose to export data to
the MATLAB workspace from any step in the app and continue your work
outside the app.
